Instructions

Wash, hull and quarter strawberries. Smaller ones can be halved.
Put prepared strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a medium pan and give them a stir.
Place pan over low to medium heat and bring to boil, stirring from time to time. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until sugar has dissolved, strawberries released their juice and collapsed slightly.
Taste and adjust sweetness of the coulis according to your tastebuds. If more sugar is needed, add it and simmer the fruit stirring for couple more minutes to dissolve the sugar.
Take pan off the heat and using stick (immersion) blender, puree the mixture until smooth.
For even smoother result pass pureed strawberries through fine sieve set over the bowl which will get rid of any unwanted seeds and also thicken the coulis.
Enjoy!

Notes

Nutritional information is approximate, per serving based on 10 two tablespoon servings and should be treated as rough guideline only.
Strawberry coulis will keep in a jar in the fridge for up to a week.
Freezer friendly.

TIPS:

Taste and adjust the amount of sugar according to your tastebuds. It's always easier to add more sugar then to take it away!
I found that frozen strawberries require more sugar as they are not as sweet as the fresh ones during the peak of their season.
When using frozen strawberries, bear in mind that cooking time will be slightly longer as they'll need to thaw in the pan first and then released water need to be cooked down a bit.
